I'm a grad student trying to do an independent research project in the hope that I can get it published in at least a state journal if not a national one. It pertains to World War II and I'm hoping to be able to use correspondence journals of veterans from my own state (Texas). Does anyone have a good recommendation on how best to track down these kinds of sources? I've already spoken with the archivist at my university library and she's given me her newspaper databases from that time period. I'm a bit lost beyond this, however.
The Veterans History Project might be of some use.
